Female Cyst trouble

Hey Everyone,
I just was wondering if anyone has experienced trouble with any kind of Cyst on their Ovaries.. I was in the ER for several hours yeterday and they said that I have once again a Hemorragic Cyst and a cyst I never heard of before it is called a Dermoid Cyst.. So now I am wondering if this has anything to do with the Metabolic Issues I am having and if anyone else has experienced this trouble before...
It seems like everything that happens has to be neat and interesting to all the doctors but none of them have a clear answer so I am looking to all of you to see if anyone here has had any of the same issues...

" Wow, so true, doctors never have a clear answer for anything... I truly have experienced this as well. As for Ovarian Cysts, I have them, my sister has them. I am not sure if they factor in to Metabolic issues or not. I dont think there is a link to Mitochondrial disease, at least not what I can see...but I am not a doctor.... "

" Yes, I have just been diagnosed with bilateral ovarian cysts. Just had another ultra sound. Tech said one was gone and the other was small. No call from Dr. yet, so I assume they are fine. "

" I have them too. Never thought that they could be related to mito disease. I think they are pretty common. "

" My medical problems all started with endometriosis, hysterectomy due to a break-down of the uterus, fibroids and then bilateral ovarian cysts. I don't remember the type of cysts they were but I had severe pain. I also had a long time to recover due to spastic muscles in the pelvis area. After my last surgery I had 1 day of no pain and felt great. However, I have had constant pain ever since. It's interesting that 4 of us had ovarian cysts. I wonder how many women have had gynocological problems as well. I also have been diagnosed with spinocerebellar ataxia and mitochondrial disease. "
